Oh man, the battle at the end of Lions.. between Rodrigo Belmonte and Ammar ibn Khairan made me so upset I didn't want to read to see the conclusion.
Such a sad and beautiful story.
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I love so much GG Kay. I remember absolutely, full-bore sobbing at pretty much the entire last 1/8th of the last book.
Loved Lions, Tigana, the Sarantium duology, Song for Arbonne, and his first Asian-inspired book. The others, though...I just didn't like the newer ones. That others are so emotionally rich and I just didn't feel much for the characters in the latest ones.

I'm halfway through Code Name Verity and I, uh.... I have a fair feeling I am going to be emotionally devastated by this book.

Because books.
You're not wrong, zuisa. But it's completely worth it.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
What they said. Devastating and amazing.

Because books.
And Rose Under Fire is just as devastating, but also well worth it. I haven't read her others yet, but I plan to.
